Mount Vernon History Tours available via link, phone

The final phase of the Mount Vernon History Tours is now available to the public. The project was designed and brought to life by three entities; the Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Development Group, the Mount Vernon Historic Preservation Commission, and Cornell College. The intent of the tour is to showcase historic properties that exist in Mount Vernon, Iowa, and of course highlight the history of the city. There are three tours available total, with thirty-one total locations available to be explored.
